Disaster averted!
This chapter will be short (or not), as I am trying to refocus on my storyline and think it will be easier for me to write shorter chapters for right now. Please forgive me if they are short. I don't want this story to end too quickly, but I am slowly losing my path. So please be patient as I continue writing short chapters in order to keep this story going. Once again thanks for the over 1k views.
Kongpob's P.O.V.
I woke up feeling dizzy and out of sorts. I could hear several voices chatting near me, but they sounded like bees buzzing around me. I felt like sitting up but once I tried to move even an inch, the room started to spin, and I felt like I was going to throw up. I groaned and that alerted the people near me that I was awake.
"Kang to u hear mek (Kong do you hear me)?" -A
"What?"
"Can u donder and mek (Can you understand me)?" -A
"Can someone speak Thai. I don't understand what you're saying."
"Kong." -A
"Arthit?"
"Can you hear me now?" -A
"Yes."
I said as the voices started to slowly return to normal. I looked towards the right of me and saw Arthit with Kao and Pete. 'Wait…where am I?' I thought as I took a glance around the living room and noticed that this place wasn't familiar at all.
"You're in our house." -Kao
"Why am I here? Last thing I remember was-" I started to say as the memories came flashing back and I started to panic. I started to hyperventilate and started to pass out but Arthit gently grabbed my arms and started to make soothing motions that traveled to my back and my chest. This helped to calm me down. I looked at Arthit's face and saw several emotions in his black eyes. Happiness, sadness, confusion, fear, and guilt? I couldn't understand why Arthit would feel guilty. Those memories are just a horrible nightmare like last time. Well at least that's what I'm telling myself right now.
"Arthit. Why are we at Kao and Pete's place?"
"…" -A
"Arthit?"
"Kong you have been injured and I needed help, so I called Kao and Pete to help us." -A
I could feel that Arthit wasn't telling me the truth or even a partial truth but for some reason, that feeling of wanting to just trust him completely and let him take care of things started to override my feeling of distrust and fear.
Shaking my head to dispel those thoughts of complete trust and safety. I turn and glare at Arthit letting him know that I wasn't going to just sit here and take that lie. I could tell that he didn't like where things were going but hey, it's my life that's in trouble.
"I don't believe you and you know it. Tell me the truth Arthit."
"Look, I can't tell you what's really going on right now. Your life is in real danger and if we don't figure out a way to fix it then…." -A
"Then…. what?"
"Then…...I will have no choice but to do the one thing I'm sure can heal you, but it will also make things different." -A
'WAIT. Make things different. How? Why? When?' I started screaming inside my head and for just a brief second, I saw Arthit making a slight whine like he was in pain, but it was gone the next second.
"Look I want the truth now. I am fighting with myself between just trusting you completely because my mind and heart are telling me to do so, but another part of myself doesn't like that I'm being lied to."
"I know. I really want to explain everything right now, but it would only make the situation worse and I am running out of time." -A
'Wait…did he say that he was running out of time. Then doesn't that mean I'm running out of time. Oh fuck!' I started panicking in my head trying to make sense of everything that's been said. I almost had a complete melt down when Arthit's phone started to ring and I saw that the caller ID said Rome. Arthit quickly picked up the call and walked a few feet away not letting me hear what he was saying or what the other person was saying. I turn my focus to Kao and Pete.
"P'Kao. Can you or P'Pete tell me what's going on please?"
"I'm afraid Kong that in this situation, it would be best if Arthit told you himself. It's not my issue that needs to be let out in the open." -Kao
I slowly nodded my head feeling dejected. 'Why won't anyone tell me anything. I can understand anything that's said to me, and I'm not bias or overly opinionated. I keep an open mind so that way I won't offend anyone and learn more about others.'
Just as I was starting to just give up on thinking that anyone would explain anything to me, Arthit suddenly came over and was jumping up and down like a kid who was told he could have candy.
"I've got great news. Kongpob I know how to cure your injury, without doing what I thought I was going to have to do." -A
"I'm very confused right now."
"I know and I'm sorry that I can't explain anything right now, but my friend Rome found a solution that will make everything normal again. I must make this very specific old remedy drink. Once you drink it all, you will be better and cured." -A
I look at Arthit with concern and hesitation written on my face, but he ignored it as he pulled Kao off to the side and talked to him about what he needed, which left me with P'Pete. Nothing wrong with hanging out with P'Pete but, I've only met him a few times and we never really talked much except the usual greetings.
"So…. you and P'Kao have been together for 10 years now. What was P'Kao like when you first met him?"
"Kao was a bit annoying and cute at the same time. We went to the same high school and university, but we didn't hit it off right away. It took me a couple of years to realize my feelings for him and the courage to tell him what I feel for him. I knew that he had feelings for me, but I didn't want to get his hopes up especially since I was straight before I met him." -Pete
"Really? How did you know that you were gay? I found out when I was in middle school during P.E. All the boys were changing in the locker room and just seeing them half-naked had me horny. It was very embarrassing, and hard to hide in the beginning. I came out during the last semester of middle school and I was lucky that my classmates were accepting of my sexual preference."
"Well, I found out that I loved Kao when he helped to point out that I was being jealous of people getting close to him even though at the time, Kao and I were just friends. I didn't realize that what I was feeling was jealousy. We had a small fight which is when he pointed out how my behavior wasn't normal and that since we were faen, that I needed to back off. That gave me one hell of a slap to my brain. I realized right then and there that I love Kao and didn't want him to be with anyone but me. I also needed to make sure that he believed me when I confessed my feelings for him. That took me a few months, but it was well worth it. I will never love anyone the same way as I do Kao." -Pete
I didn't realize it but right at that moment, I was crying. Their situation was a little like Arthit and my relationship. We are faen but I know that he is hiding things from me and it makes me feel uncomfortable. Just as those sad feelings were coming, Arthit came rushing over with a drink in his hand. It was orange in color and seemed a little hazardous to drink.
"Kong, I need you to drink this. I promise there is nothing strange, or foreign in it. I will be honest and let you know that I had to put a drop of my blood in it. I don't know why myself, but it is supposed to help cleanse your system. Something to do with clean blood, since I wasn't injured." -A
I hesitate and look at the drink with a questionable look, but the pleading looks in his eyes convinced me that Arthit wouldn't give me anything that would do any harm to me. I slowly take the glass from his hand and drink it all in one gulp.
Slowly I started to feel much better and more like myself, which was odd because I didn't notice I wasn't really acting like myself. I looked at Arthit, P'Kao and P'Pete and they all had smiles on their faces. Arthit without hesitation took the glass out of my hands and hugged me. The hug was very warm and comfortable and safe.
I started to feel drowsy and felt Arthit carry me up a flight of stairs and into a room where he then placed me on a bed and pulled the covers back before getting in and laying with me as sleep took over.
Arthit's P.O.V.
I quickly walked out of Kongpob's hearing range to hear what Rome had found.
"Your Majesty. I found a cure that will reverse any possible transformation already happening in his Highness's body and will also prevent it from happening again. You don't have to turn him to do so. All you need to do is to create this old, old, old, old witches' potion that allows a single drop of a Vampire King to cure any and all injuries, curses, hexes, and possible mutations to their Soulmate. Allowing one drop to enter the Soulmate's system cleans it out and gives their immune system a very high and long-lasting boost of defense."
"Are you sure this will work? I know that you and Pick have been looking for hours and hours and I am in no way dissing your hard work and efforts, I'm just- "
"I know what you mean. No offense taken and I told Pick that you would say something like this. I would ask the same question if I was in your shoes and I know Pick would too. Yes, this will 100% work. I have examples of times when previous Vampire Kings used this potion to save their Soulmate and they are still living happily together although some aren't the current Kings since it must be passed down etc.…" -Rome
"Thanks, sooo much. I owe you two a lot. I don't know when I will be back and hopefully with Kongpob, but I promise to not make you two wait too much longer."
"Thanks. We miss you, even if someone doesn't want to admit it out loud. ('Shut up Rome. Don't tell him things like that.' -Pick)"
I snickered as I heard Pick complaining to Rome about spilling his secrets. I quickly thanked them once again and raced back to the living room pulling Kao aside to ask for the ingredients listed on the post it. We took about 20 minutes to gather everything together (that's using super vampire speed) and I added the final touch. One drop of my blood. I quickly stirred the drink up, so it wouldn't be obvious about the blood.
I came back with a glass in hand and Kao following behind. I told Kong about how I needed to add a drop of my blood in this very old witches' potion because I didn't want to lie to him anymore.
I watched as he was hesitant at first but quickly drank it in one gulp before returning to his normal self again. I was happy along with Kao and Pete. I watched as Kongpob passed out and I took him upstairs to the guest bedroom where we would be sleeping in for the night. I snuggled up with him as sleep took us both.
Okay how was it? I feel like it was a horrible chapter. Crap! I promise to do better in the future. Please vote, comment, and/or both.
